Johnson Model 4VAL-17S

[stormrider]

I recently purchased a 1971 Larson Shark. This boat came with a Johnson outboard model #V4AL-17S. ID tag says that it is a 75hp. I would like to know what year this motor was manufactured and any other info that you can give me. Serial #J2518504 if this helps.

It's a 1965 model.
